Home to the first US Icelandic population, Spanish Fork, UT is a unique and diverse community nestled between the Wasatch Range and Utah Lake. They are also a community with a rapidly growing STD/HIV problem.
During the five years from 2014 to 2018, Utah County and Spanish Fork saw an upswing in the prevalence rates for all of these diseases that met or surpassed that of the state as a whole. In fact, its HIV prevalence rate grew at a rate more than six times that of the state of Utah.
Utah averaged a 4.5% rise in its HIV prevalence rate yet Utah County and Spanish Fork realized a whopping 27.8% increase. While this increase only represents 9 cases, from 33 in 2014 to 42 in 2018, it is still indicative of a larger issue.
The rate of STD growth during this same period held constant with that of the state at roughly a 16% increase.
According to the STD Surveillance report published by the Utah Department of Health in December of 2018, the “2017 rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and P&S [syphilis] all represent 10-year highs.”
While Spanish Fork itself may not have any clinics that offer STD testing, there are a number of them in nearby communities like Provo, Orem, and Springville. These include Canyon View Medical Group’s Springville Clinic, Planned Parenthood’s Utah Valley Health Center in Orem, and the Utah County Health Department on University Avenue in Provo.
Make sure that if you are looking for free STD testing you know exactly what that entails. These types of services are often free but not comprehensive. Moreover, they may not offer a doctor consultation or they might charge a fee for this service.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.
